and I don't mean a broken bone!!! Klaire woke up this morning with an allergic reaction. After talking with the pediatric clinic we are thinking she is allergic to her antibiotic that she has been on for her ear infections. Jace is allergic to the same kind, so I mentioned that when they prescribed it for her. The doc. said that it may take several days to show signs of a reaction but that hopefully she wouldn't have one. Well, no luck of course. Oh well, it could seriously, always be worse! Thanking the good Lord for watching over us!

Klaire is 10 months today! Again this month I say WOW!! Klaire went to the doc. last week and was 19.8. She is "talking" or babbling like crazy. She is now standing on her own for several seconds at a time and of course cruising the furniture like crazy. She is beginning to tire of baby food and is really loving table foods. She usually eats one piece of bread every day. She loves to eat vegetables like green beans, corn, carrots, etc. She is still in size 3 diapers, and we are almost out of ones recieved as baby shower gifts, but oh what a blessing to have gone this long!! She has almost quit nursing through the night, for about a week now. She takes two pumped bottles at school and nurses the rest of the time. She loves to play with my hair when she is tired. I have started planning for her first birthday......so hard to believe. Love my Miss Priss!

Klaire woke up with a temp of 102.6 soooo I decided to go ahead and take her to the clinic today. I didn't want her ears to get as bad as Jace's if it was her ears. Turns out........YEP, double ear infections. YUCK! Soooo now I have 2 kiddos on antibiotics!! We go back in 2 wks for rechecks on both of them. Keep praying!

The last two days Jace has been complaining with his ear as soon as he gets up from nap at school. By the time we get home he has already quit complaining and plays as normal. Well, last night he was great until around 9ish. He cried until after midnight with his ear. Then when I got him up this morning he had blood coming out of his ear. :( We had school so I sent him to daycare and told them I planned to get him an appt. as soon as school was out, but that if he started complaining I would call my MIL to come get him until his appt. Well, needless to say I pulled up to school just to be told that school was cancelled. Soooo, I went back to daycare & picked up Klaire & Jace and then we luckily got in to the clinic. I also decided to try and get him in to the dentist to check on his tooth that he fell and hit at Christmas. (Don't remember if I ever posted on that or not???) We got to the clinic (he never complained at all, such a big boy to be in pain) and sure enough he has a perforated eardrum in his left ear and an infection in his right. They gave him an oral antibiotic, ear drop antibiotics, and a cough medicine with codeine to help with the ear pain. Of course I feel like a terrible mommy because we have just been treating with over the counter ear drops & Motrin thinking it would go away. UGH!! Anyway, afterwards we headed straight to the dentist where Jace got x-rays and his teeth cleaned. He was sooooo good. Anyway, the nerve in his front tooth is dead, sooooo he gets a crown the end of Feb. Poor thing, hoping all of this sickness with our family goes away soon.....we have had the stomach bug, me strep, Jace the stomach bug, John a viral infection, and then now the ears with Jace. Klaire has been running temp off and on too, we think either viral or teething??? So, if you have a moment, add us in your prayers please!!

Klaire particiapated in another pageant today. She did a great job and won most Photogenic and 1st Alternate. I couldn't have been more pleased. It is hard competing against babies that are already walking and showing personality so I was excited! The little girl who won Queen was walking and saying bye, waving, blowing kisses.....so cute! My friend Allison's little girl competed in the 2-3 yr. division and won most Photogenic and Queen for her division! Way to go Madi!!
